Who we are/What we DoFrolick’s mandate is to produce holistic theatrical presentations, original and classical work, local harvest feasts, and dancing celebrations that open the heart, wake up the mind, and enliven the soul. Frolick also curates and presents visionary and traditional forms of art. We offer workshops in acting, stagecraft, stilt walking and writing.

StructureThe company has a co-operative structure, where profits are divided by shares. Shares to each SHOW are offered to those members participating in the creation and presentation of each SHOW.

LIVE ENCHANTMENT

From Frolick's inception in 2011 (A Midsummer Nights Dream) as a full scale "Community Engaged", "Multi-disciplinary" "Wholistic/Shamanic" theatrical company, audiences have been treated to local (cast grown) food celebrations as well as great, highly entertaining and unique independently produced shows.
